What a fire restoration provider does

1. Board up and tarp the property.
2. Remove water and dry. In winter, this also protects pipes from freezing in a damaged house.
3. Clean soot from surfaces, contents and ducts.
4. Treat odor.
5. Rebuild with your insurer.

Wait for the fire department's all-clear before going back in.
